Hi All,

TimeMapper <http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/> is a new simple Labs app that
lets you build, save and share interactive timemaps from Google
spreadsheets quickly and easily.

Examples:

   - Major Battles in the Napoleonic
Wars<http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/rufuspollock/major-battles-napoleonic-wars>
   - Medieval Philosophers<http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/okfn/medieval-philosophers>
   - US City Bankruptcies since the Financial
Crisis<http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/rufuspollock/us-city-bankruptcies>
   - Archaeology of
Wine<http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/adamrabinowitz/archaeowinetimeliner>

In terms of the internals the app is a basic node.js app with storage into
s3. The timemap viz is pure JS built using KnightLabs excellent Timeline.js
for the timeline and Leaflet (with OSM) for the maps. For those interested
in the code it can be found here: https://github.com/okfn/timemapper/

Regards,

Rufus

PS: if you’re wondering what is the relation of this to Timeliner -
TimeMapper is the evolution of Timeliner into a fully-fledged app
(Timeliner - despite its name! - actually did timemaps!) and Timeliner will
soon be deprecated in favour of TimeMapper!
